So whenever I read up on skin tones and shit everything says I should wear pastels or some junk. And gold. I think they're on crack, man, if ever there was a person to rock bold colors mixed with silver, it is me.

But I digress. The reemergence of this thread has uncomfortably reminded me of that dress I never finished that is now half buried in laundry.

Uh. Oops.

Also damnit, now I want to start knitting again._________________Samsally the GrayAce

Wear whatever tones you want to, skin tones be damned!

In fact, pick a color and there is a shade that works for you! My biggest problem is that I am two-toned - super pale but dark spots. Foundation is a problem._________________Before God created Las he pondered on all the aspects a woman might have, he considered which ones would look good super-inflated and which ones to leave alone.

I still haven't figured out how to make my skin not break out horribly all the time. It's like, why bother wearing foundation when half my chin has decided to be a giant zit? I obviously wouldn't be fooling anyone. It practically distorts the shape of my face and laughs outright at any attempt at color correction.

Supposedly I'd look good in pastels because I have pale eyes. Last time I tried on a powder blue dress everyone cringed. Red it is, thank you. The more obnoxious the better. Maybe it'll distract people from the face eating zit.

I've also been branching into other bright and bold colors. Plum is a new favorite._________________Samsally the GrayAce

Whoever said about rolling around when one can simply huff the wool fumes? Getting high with the sheepies, oh yeah._________________WARNING: Microwave musclebear detection devices in use on these premises!

But I don't want to do that. I'm way to busy with my sweater.

Now, question: Should I do the collar and cuffs in one of the colors I'm using, or should I use another, more saturated blue or black for contrast?_________________WARNING: Microwave musclebear detection devices in use on these premises!
